This is Fiona who is a 3 year old silver-laced wyandotte hen, who looked beautiful last summer and then in the fall she moulted and it's like her feathers never grew back. She had what I would describe as a cold during her moult, she was making coughing/sneezing noises for a few weeks, so I...

I'm thinking about moving my guineas into my duck coop and was wondering if anyone else has their guineas bunking with their ducks and whether that works well for them? When I first got guineas 2 years ago I didn't know if I would like them and want to keep them, so we just made a somewhat...

Hello, I'm looking for advice on what to do for my Campbell duck who I noticed was limping today. Upon inspection I saw this abscess or infection of some sort on her toe. Has anyone ever had this before? How did you heal it? I'm assuming a salt soak would be a good place to start, but would love...

Hello! I'm looking for advice on a flock issue I'm having. I have 4 wyandotte hens about 1.5 years old. I had a rooster that I had raised with them but he became VERY aggressive with people so he was culled. This year I've raised 6 buckeye pullets with a new cockerel. They are now about 6.5...

Ah yes! I think you are right! I hadn't even thought of Khaki Campbells! I've never had them before and had always pictured them as being more of a slender duck, but now that I've googled images of them, I can definitely see the resemblance! Thank you!

Hello all! I picked up 3 ducklings about a month and a half ago that were supposed to be cayugas but it pretty quickly became clear that they are not! Can anyone tell me what breed I have? Their feathers look like rouens to me, but they don't have markings on their heads like the rouens I've...

Thank you! Guineas have been a fun project so far, and I'm glad to hear that they should venture out as they get older, that's what I was hoping! We live outside Kingston, and this area is pretty bad for ticks. We have lots of land and friendly neighbours so we figured we'd give guineas a try...

Hi everyone! I am new to the guinea world and got 6 guinea keets in the spring with the intent of having them free range to help control ticks on our property. They are now 3 months old and we can't seem to get them to leave their coop! We have had their coop door wide open every day for over...

Hello guinea fowl people! I'm thinking about getting some guinea keets to raise this spring. I live in Ontario and have 42 acres with a lot of deer and subsequently a lot of ticks. We also have a lot of wild turkeys that wander through our property frequently. I'm wondering if my free-ranging...

Thanks for the advice everyone! Thought I'd give an update on the status of things in my coop! I really don't need my rooster, I have no current plans to breed them (maybe someday in the future), but I am keeping him because I like him! I wasn't planning on getting a cockerel, but the breeder...

Hi everyone, This is my first post, but I've been coming to BYC for advice since I first got my chicken flock! I have 5 hens and 1 roo, which I got as chicks last spring. The hens started laying at the end of the summer and they've always been a happy family until the past month or so. Now...
